2018 Crop Enterprise Budgets
The Department of Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness (AEAB) develops crop
enterprise budgets to assist Arkansas producers and other agricultural stakeholders in evaluating
expected costs and returns for the upcoming field crop production year. Production methods
analyzed represent typical field activities as determined by consultations with farmers, county
agents, and information from Crop Research Verification Program Coordinators in the
Department of Crop, Soil, and Environmental Sciences. Actual production practices vary greatly
among individual farms due to management preferences and between production years due to
climactic conditions. Analyses are for generalized circumstances with a focus on consistent and
coordinated application of budget methods for all field crops. This approach results in
meaningful costs and returns comparisons for decision making related to acreage allocations
among field crops. Presentations in this report should be regarded only as a guide and basis for
individual farmers developing budgets for their production practices, soil types, and other unique
circumstances. AEAB periodically issues reports devoted to economic comparisons of
alternative production practices. These reports offer greater detail for a range of production
practices, seeds, and inputs.
Interactive versions of budgets in this report are available online. Users may change selected
variables to represent their unique circumstances. Variables available for changing are in white
spreadsheet cells. Numbers in colored cells are from formulas that change values as users make
changes in white cells. County agents may produce budgets representative of unique conditions
in their counties. Users should contact their county agents for assistance in developing
customized budgets unique to individual farm situations.
Summary of Methods
Methods employed for developing crop enterprise budgets include input prices that are
estimated directly from information available from suppliers and other sources, as well as costs
estimated from engineering formulas developed by the American Society of Agricultural and
Biological Engineers. Input costs for fertilizers and chemicals are estimated by applying prices to
typical input rates. Input prices, custom hire rates, and fees are estimated with information from
industry contacts. Methods of estimating these operating expenses presented in crop enterprise
budgets are identical to producers obtaining costs information for their specific farms.
Ownership costs and repair expenses for machinery are estimated by applying engineering
formulas to representative prices of new equipment (Givan 1991; Lazarus and Selly 2002).
Repair expenses in crop enterprise budgets should be regarded as value estimates of full service
repairs. Repairs and maintenance performed by hired farm labor will be partially realized as
wages paid to employees. Machinery performance rates of field activities utilized for machinery
costs are used to estimate time requirements of an activity which is applied to an hourly wage
rate for determining labor costs (USDA, NASS 2017). Labor costs in crop enterprise budgets
represent time devoted to specified field activities.
Ownership costs of machinery are determined by the capital recovery method which determines
the amount of money that should be set aside each year to replace the value of equipment used in
production (Kay and Edwards 1999). This measure differs from typical depreciation methods, as
1
well as actual cash expenses for machinery. Amortization factors applied for capital recovery
estimation coincide with prevailing long-term interest rates (Edwards 2005). Interest rates in this
report are from regional lenders as reported in late 2016. Representative prices for machinery
and equipment are based on contacts with Arkansas dealers, industry list prices, and reference
sources (Deere & Company 2017; MSU 2017). Revenue in crop enterprise budgets is the product
of expected yields from following Extension practices under optimal growing conditions and
projected commodity prices.
